While listening to an introductory video on the Vatican Mosaic Exhibition, I noticed a mural in the chapel where we were sitting at the Old Ursuline Convent. It inspired me to make the painting below. I had not toured the convent before and I thought it was a worthy subject for a dot painting.


acrylic on canvas, 5" x 5"

Creating imagery in my dot art is always difficult. Usually I simplify it. So, in creating this painting, I decided to focus on the image of the white dove and the light that beaming from it. I decided against including the three female figures below the dove, in the mural. I simplified the number of colors used in my palette.
